Today we saw one of Beijing's most famous sites - the Summer Palace. It's quite a way out of the city - took 3 metro trains and 1 1/2 hours walking to get there. The main thing we're realising in Beijing is that the Emperor's never did anything by halves. The scale of the Palace is amazing, even if 3/4 of the Summer Palace is made up by the lake. Went all the way up to the Temple of Buddah Incense. It was a very long way up, and unfortunately its been cloudy and rained most of the day so the views weren't great. Decided to take the bus back - another mad day on the Beijing roads - still took 2 hours! Tomorrow's our last day in Beijing, moving onto Xian tomorrow night. A night train is the next big adventure!
